I have two beautiful children, the eldest coming up for 4. Prior to having kids I was an opinionated, career minded individual. However 4 years later after being a SAHM I feel like I have lost my way a bit!
I have a uni degree, MA and have done several work related courses whilst I have been on a 'career break'.
But I suppose the reason I am posting this is I feel I have lost my way. My close friends no longer feel that close. They don't have kids or have grown up kids and do not live that close by. I have hardly any time alone with partner and I suppose I am wondering what to do about returning to work.
I am in a very fortunate position in that I do not need to work at present. However, this does not stop me feeling that I am lost in the world of babies, preschoolers etc and need to be considering something more. Both for my benefit to contribute to income and be a positive role model for my children.
I have met up with several parents at the nursery my DC attends. But these relationships are very new.
Does anyone else feel like this? Or had felt like this and come through the other side.
I am not wanting to wallow but try and find positive ways of moving forward!

Anyone else feel they have lost their way since having children?
